Theoretical Construction of Slum Settlement Area Arrangement as an Alternative Tourist Destination in Urban Areas

Abstract

Urban slums as an illustration of economic and social development gaps in urban areas. Settlements that are synonymous with poverty are generally settlements that are not ready to face urban dynamics. This research aims to examine the concept and theoretical study of slum tourism as an alternative tourist destination in overcoming urban slums, accompanied by empirical evidence that has been successfully carried out in several cities around the world. Then formulate a conceptual framework based on literature studies as a roadmap and/or current challenges for future research. The study produces key novelties for future research in urban slum tourism planning which lies in the scope of studies regarding attractiveness, tourist activities, accessibility, community friendliness, the tourism industry, and tourism organizations.
